Quickly recover from any cloud data loss scenario — whether due to outages, accidental deletion, malware, and more — in minutes.</p><p><strong>Amazon Redshift Cluster protection</strong> — manage your Redshift Cluster protection alongside other AWS workloads you’re protecting with Veeam. Benefit from flexible policy-based scheduling and experience seamless Redshift Cluster recovery in case of a disaster.</p><p><strong>Amazon FSx protection</strong> — manage your FSx file system protection alongside other AWS workloads you’re protecting with Veeam. Benefit from flexible policy-based scheduling and experience seamless file system recovery to either the original or a new location.</p><p><strong>Immutability extension improvements</strong> — allowing to save up to 30% costs comparing to the previous version for backups stored in S3 using immutability.

To resolve the issue, contact the Veeam Customer Support Team.</li><li>Additional permissions may be required to perform backup and restore operations. For more information, see the <a href="https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbaws/guide/permissions_changelog.html?ver=80">Veeam Backup for AWS User Guide</a>.</li><li>Additional permissions are required to use SQS queues using custom access policies.

Once the repository is created, Veeam Backup for AWS switches to using private endpoints exclusively.</li><li>Validation of AWS services availability was included in the worker deployment process. However, in large infrastructures, this might cause SSM service throttling.

If you use EFS indexing, backup policies may start failing and it is required to perform a permissions check on the Indexing step of the related EFS backup policy to resolve it and assist you to assign the correct permissions.
